Re: Matching on an argument ...

Procmail's  VAR ?? condition  syntax won't work on special variables like $1,
so first you have to copy its value into an ordinary variable, like this:

    ARG1=$1

Then you can use

    * ARG1 ?? whatever

to do any tests you like on the value that was passed in $1.
